19:08 <bdmurray> [TOPIC] Review of previous action items
19:08 <bdmurray> rbasak added Rosco2 yes?
19:09 <rbasak> Yes done
19:09 <bdmurray> I did sent a call for nominations and we'll talk about that as a separate topic
19:10 <bdmurray> sil2100 took care of ddstreet yes?
19:10 <sil2100> bdmurray: yes, done
19:10 <bdmurray> rbasak to create and add slashd to the new SRU-UPLOADERS team (done, pending TB action)
19:10 <bdmurray> Is the TB action actioned?
19:10 <rbasak> Not that I'm aware
19:10 <rbasak> The next TB meeting is tomorrow I hope?
19:10 * rbasak isn't sure of the phase
19:11 <bdmurray> okay but you are managing it / them?
19:11 <rbasak> Yes. Carry that one over please, and I'll chase as needed.
19:12 <bdmurray> just for posterity - rbasak to announce slashd's new SRU-UPLOADERS team membership (done)
19:12 <bdmurray> sil2100 to finalize fossfreedom's application vote situation
19:12 <bdmurray> what's up with that?
19:12 <sil2100> bdmurray: that's more or less done now
19:12 <sil2100> I need to just send out the note
19:12 <sil2100> I poked infinity and got a final -1 vote from him
19:13 <sil2100> This means the application got rejected in the end - I'll send out an announcement to that today
19:13 <bdmurray> sil2100: okay
19:14 <bdmurray> I don't see any applications dated for today so
19:14 <bdmurray> [TOPIC] Expiring DMB members
19:14 <bdmurray> I sent out a call for nominations and received none
19:15 <bdmurray> Although sil2100 and micahg mentioned they didn't see the announcement. Is u-d-a the right place to send it?
19:15 <micahg> yes
19:15 <bdmurray> Not to put you on the spot but how did you miss it?
19:15 <sil2100> bdmurray: yes, I found it, got pushed to spam (?) on my gmail for unknown reasons
19:15 <micahg> too busy and mailbox full might have meant it got dropped
19:15 <rbasak> I wonder if everyone is assuming that someone else will apply. If we send out a second call, might that help?
19:16 <micahg> I motion that we extend cyphermox's membership to match infinity's membership expiration date and send out of a call at the beginning of July
19:16 <bdmurray> I don't see how things'll get better in July.
19:17 <rbasak> Do we need TB approval for that?
19:17 <bdmurray> IIRC we had a similar issue during the last election.
19:17 <bdmurray> The issue being very few candidates.
19:17 <rbasak> But I half agree with bdmurray - rather than postponing, perhaps we could continue to try to find replacements and extend cyphermox's term as needed until replacements are found?
19:17 <rbasak> Assuming cyphermox wants to continue that is.
19:17 <micahg> rbasak: we usually submit the results of the election to the TB for a final signoff, we could do that for this as well
19:18 <cyphermox> rbasak: I have just sent a self-nomination email
19:18 <rbasak> cyphermox: thanks!
19:18 <micahg> we're approaching the end of the cycle, I think people will be busy
19:18 <micahg> July is in the middle before feature freeze which should allow people a little more time to think about it
19:18 <cyphermox> I *did* miss the deadline though, so YMMV
19:18 <rbasak> micahg: I accept that. My point is that rather than pushing back to July, perhaps we should push back only as far as is necessary.
19:19 <micahg> startup in May again
19:19 <micahg> ?
19:20 <bdmurray> I don't think its gonna help, but we can just place private bets on that.
19:20 <micahg> we can try to run a social media campaign leading up to it maybe if someone has time
19:20 <micahg> 1-3 part series on life as a DMB member?
19:21 <cyphermox> ahah :)
19:22 <bdmurray> There are only 86 core devs, so a social media campaign seems like a bit much.
19:22 <micahg> MOTUs are allowed to run as well
19:23 <bdmurray> Well one of their "latest members" is sil2100 which must have been some time ago.
19:24 <bdmurray> Anyway, the proposal is to extend cyphermox's membership to end of May and send out a request for nominations in the beginning of that month?
19:24 <cyphermox> we haven't reviewed a MOTU application in quite a while
19:24 <micahg> well, it's an extra 50 people
19:26 <micahg> yeah, I think people have moved to more siloed rights instead of a broader focus, which is a mixed bag
19:26 <micahg> there's very little traffic in the MOTU channel
19:27 <micahg> Is there anyone focusing on the non-snap development community anymore?
19:30 <bdmurray> rbasak, cyphermox, sil2100: Are you happing with extending cyphermox's membership until the end of May and holding elections then?
19:31 <rbasak> No objection.
19:32 <cyphermox> bdmurray: no objection
19:35 <bdmurray> [ACTION] bdmurray to get cyphermox's membership extended
19:35 * meetingology bdmurray to get cyphermox's membership extended
19:35 <bdmurray> [TOPIC] Outstanding mailing list requests to assign
19:36 <bdmurray> I think I saw a ping over the weekend
19:36 <rbasak> There were a couple I think
19:36 <rbasak> "Re-generate the list of my personal packageset"
19:36 <rbasak> "one more PPU package for ~mapreri"
19:36 <bdmurray> The one from happyaron?
19:36 <rbasak> Yep
19:37 <rbasak> Raphaël Pinson asking for core-dev reinstatement
19:38 <rbasak> "Please add xfdashboard to xubuntu packageset"
19:38 <rbasak> That's Feb 07 - did that ever get done?
19:38 <bdmurray> [ACTION] bdmurray to look at ~mapreri's one more package
19:38 * meetingology bdmurray to look at ~mapreri's one more package
19:38 <bdmurray> rbasak: Can you do the re-gen?
19:38 <rbasak> OK
19:39 <rbasak> Uh
19:39 <rbasak> I'll sort it anyway
19:39 <rbasak> I don't think Aron has a personal packageset.
19:39 * bdmurray rbasak to sort Aron's request
19:40 * bdmurray bdmurray to add Raphaël Pinson back to core-dev
19:40 <bdmurray> [ACTION] rbasak to sort Aron's request
19:40 * meetingology rbasak to sort Aron's request
19:40 <bdmurray> [ACTION] bdmurray to add Raphaël Pinson back to core-dev
19:40 * meetingology bdmurray to add Raphaël Pinson back to core-dev
19:42 <bdmurray> [ACTION] bdmurray to look into xfdashboard being in xubuntu packageset
19:42 * meetingology bdmurray to look into xfdashboard being in xubuntu packageset
19:42 <bdmurray> There I think we got them all
19:42 <cyphermox> actually, let me take care of xfdashboard, I'm already looking at the packageset code.
19:42 <bdmurray> okay
19:43 <bdmurray> [TOPIC] Any other business?
19:43 <rbasak> Thank you for chairing bdmurray
19:43 <cyphermox> I'm happy to chair next.
19:44 <bdmurray> cyphermox: noted, thanks
19:44 <bdmurray> Okay, I guess that's a wrap.
19:45 <bdmurray> Ask your friends to run in May though!
